NATURAL HISTORY.
Some of the caterpillars found in the
vicinity of the Darling river, Austra
lia, are over six inches in length.
The leaders of a flock of migrating
wild geese become tired sooner than
others and are frequently relieved by
their fellows.
The gray buzzard is said to be the
heaviest bird that flics, the young
males, when food is plentiful, weighing
nearly forty pounds. The bird is near
ly extinct.
The terrapin lives largely upon crabs.
He never eats his food, but bolts it.
His favorite tidbit is the crab's claw,
which he swallows whole with the
greatest relish.
The glowworm lays eggs which, it Is
said, are themselves luminous. How
ever, the young hatched from them are
not possessed of those peculiar proper
ties until after the flrst transformation.
A whistling moth is an Australian
rarity. There is a glassy space on the
wings crossed with ribs. When the
moth wants to whistle, It strikes these
ribs with its antennae, which have.a
knob at the end. The sound is a love
call from the male to the female.
Repaid In Kind.
At a certain ball in the country the
other evening a gentleman undertook
to introduce a companion to a young
but somewhat stout lady, who seemed
to bo pining for a dance.
"No, thanks, old fellow. I don't care
to waltz with a cart."
A "cart" is understood in the district
referred to as a partner who docs not
do her share of the dancing, but has to
be drawn arotind.
A few evenings later the same young
lady, who had overheard the conversa
tion, beheld the young man seeking an
introduction and asking if he might
have the honor, etc.
"No, thank you," she replied. "I may
bo a cart, but I am not a donkey cart!"

The Scepter.
The scepter was the emblem of pow
er. As the silver wand, so familiar in
cathedrals, was once hollow, containing
the "virge" or rod with which chastise
ment was inflicted upon the choristers
and younger members of the founda
tion, so the royal scepter represented
the right to inflict punishment. Hence
the expression "to sway the scepter"
implied the holding of regal dignity.
The scepter with the dove possessed the
additional signification of the Holy
Ghost, as controlling the actions of the
sovereign. The saiue idea was con
voyed at. Reims by the beautifu. cere
mony of letting loose a number of
doves at the coronation of the French
kings.—Good Words.
CruMlied.
"You talk mighty glib about the cor
ruption in this ward," interrupted a
sallow faced man in the audience.
"What business is it of yours? Have
3*oll got any permanent investments in
this ward?"
"Yes, I have!" thundered the orator.
"Fellow citizens, I once lent that man a
dollar."

WHAT IS EDUCATION?
IT TEACHES TRICKS, SOME TRIVIAL
AND SOME DIABOLICAL.
Our So Called Civilization IN Yet
riouuderinur In a Wllderneaa-Tbe
Something In Organization That
Contllctn With Morality.
[Special Correspondence.]
Senator Tillman lias recently been
quoted by some of bis enemies as hav
ing said, "The education of the negro
Is like the training of a monkey—a
mere process of adding to its tricks."
Even if that corresponds to certain re
sults with many of our colored brctk
ren, it does not need to imply anything
wrong on the part of the colored race.
The fault may lie in the kind of edu
cation they receive and in the sur
roundings under which most of them
have to live, whether they like it or
not. Then education always man
aged to increase the capacity of evil
doing with piles of men of all races,
white, black, yellow or any other color.
That, again, does not need to be the
fault of individuals, but that of the
wrong social conditions that any de
fective education is bound to breed.
The fact is that we have made a regu
lar fetich of the word education and
assumed that it did not need any clas
sification. Just as if education could
not be wrong as well as right, sound
or not, bent upon the realization of hu
man whims or divine ideals! Just as if
education did not at least partially rest
on those who receive it, and so on their
being more or less responsive to cor
rect or twisted interpretations of that
human language that no modern na
tion has yet learned how to make "ex
act" through precise definitions of the
principal words dealing on human du
ties and intimately connected with the
moral law! The utter absence of such
definitions actually converts our hu
man language into a veritable tower of
Babel since we give to each man the
ridiculous freedom of using such words
under any vapid or fantastic meaning
of his own.
No wonder that in the spiritual or
der in the realm of ethics and social
morality we are yet floundering
through the wilderness and never
know where we are at. An emphatic
acknowledgment of such a general
mental condition was made in liar
per's Weekly March 13 by one of the
two usual writers on daily or current
events. He says: "There is something
about organization that seems to be
in eonllict with morality. Gather ten
honest men into a gas company, and
soon will they try to buy the common
council. Gather a hundred God fear
ing people into a church, and in pro
portion to its vigor it will need a care
ful restriction of its power. Gather a
multitude of people in a nation, and
the bigger and richer the more its gov
ernment will tend to be regulated by
the main chance, caring no more for
moralities than dynamite does for mu
nicipal ordinances. Government does
what times seem to prescribe and tc
let history make all explanations."
All those lines and thoughts are very
sweet and to the point, coming from a
dreadfully conservative weekly which
! seldom has the courage to see any-
I thing rotten in our national life. But
why blame organization for the evils
that men agree upon indorsing as long
as such evils enrich somebody by im
poverishing the bottom workers with
| out whom no organization could exist?
! Why not lay the ax of criticism on
j that education that has not yet taught
men how to be honest only in so far as
it is necessary to preserve their com
mercial credit and escape the jail or
something worse? And why speak of
God fearing people grouped in church
es? Have we got any such people in
quantity or quality large or important
enough to make any show on the sub
! joct of divine morality?
j A few years ago The Zion Herald of
I Boston was frank enough to tell the
! world one of the facts unfolded by
| all historical development—viz: "The
j church has preached an abstract, not
an applied, gospel. It has declared
the truth, but avoided its meaning to
j the Christian and society."
j Don't you see how nicely we have
! packed up education with tricks in
I forms the most diabolical? And if the
| negro learns trivial tricks with the ed-
I ucation we give him some of our best
I white people learn tricks of vast im
| portance because they spread them
on the high level of the lawmaking
power, where they fix the kind of
morality most adapted to play hide
and seek with the wealth produced by
the hard labor of the millions who live
and die in poverty,
j A work of giants has to be done by
somebody. We have to demolish our
' material mind. We have to burn moun
i tains of fallacies, aberration and con
, ceits. and out of the ashes the truth
1 has to come, the truth and its hand
maiden, freedom. Those two elements,
that we are yet trampling upon in the
i realm of law. must be made the su
j preme force of civilization if that name
I is to mean something more than the
1 crucifixion of humanity, since that is
what civilization is yet. All we have
1 learned thus far through our own edu
cation and progress is to demolish di
vine morality by "law" and to legalize
| the morality of our own predatory in
! stinets and conceits. That is progress
in incidentals, retrogression in funda
mentals. JOSE GUOS.

The SPORTING WORLD
To Row Rt IXonley.
C. S. Titus, the American oarsman,
who will row at Henley for the Dia
mond Sculls, recently rowed a trial
mile against the watch on the Ilarlem
river, New York, and, although no time
was given by those who held the watch
011 him. the time he made was said by
witnesses to be nothing short of mar
velous.
It was the first time since he began
to train that Titus had extended him
self for any distance over half a mile.
Every movement he made, as well as
the time, was extremely satisfactory.
The course at Ilenley is longer than
the trial course 011 the Harltmi, being
C. S. TITUS.
by actual measurement a mile and
550 yards. Titus said he felt as if he
could have maintained his stroke for
the extra distance, but it was unneces
sary. He was in the boat with which
lie won the national amateur cham
pionship last year, heavier by several
pounds than the one he will take to
Europe with him.
His new shell is being built by W.
MY. ltuddoek of Now York and is 20
feet long, lO'i inches beam and 6%
Inches deep. Its weight is twenty-two
pounds.
Titus occupied himself much this
winter in choosing the wood from
which to make his oars. They have
been finished and suited to his grip.
F. It. Fortmeyor, secretary of the
National Association of Amateur Oars
men. is in receipt of a letter from Mr.
Cooper, secretary of the Ilenley Royal
regatta, stating that Titus' entry
would lie acted upon at the next meet
ing. and Titus lias since heard by cable
that his entry has been acted upon aud
accepted.
The American sculler will meet as
formidable a lot of rowing men as
ever gathered 011 a stretch of water.
Canada sends as her representative
L. F. Sclioles of the I>on Rowing club
of Toronto, while the French cham
pion. L. X. F. ITovel, will be sent by
the Club Nautlque do Nice. Other en
trios are Fox of the Coldstream
guards, who last year defeated Blnclc
staff. The latter oarsman is entered
again. He is the man who rowed such
a grand race against young Ten Eyck
in the finals, when the American won.

Jacob Schaefer recently cabled his
wife that he had been matched to play
Maurice Yignaux, the French billiard
expert, in May in New York for the
championship of the world. After de
feating George F. Slosson and others
in a tournament for the world's cham
pionship last December Schaefer sailed
for Paris, where he has since been giv
ing exhibitions. Yignaux challenged
him, but desired the match played in
Paris. This was not acceptable to
Schaefer, who as champion has the
right to name tlie place. The exact
date on which the match will be played
is yet to be decided.
"IMiiRKPr Bill's" Cycling.
"Plugger Bill" Martin is now in New
j Zealand and doing great work. The
Canterbury Times, New Zealand, says
; of him: "Even when slightly below his
true form the veteran is one of the
hardest men to beat who ever rode on
a New Zealand track. He rides with
remarkable dash, and, nssisted by per
fect judgment and exceptional grit, he
| conies with a rush at the finish that
is simply marvelous. It is this wonder
ful determination that makes him so
popular." Martin, however, seems to
have left the "Plugger" end of his
, name at home when he went to the
' untipodes.
A COQUETTE
Of all the provoking, tantalizing co
quettes that ever teased the heart out
of a poor man Susy Arnold was the
most bewitching.
One evening while visiting her I was
seized with a violent headache. I told
her I was subject to such attacks, and
the pretty creature, putting on a grave
face, gave me a lecture 011 the subject
of health, winding up with:
"The hest thing you can do is to get a
wife to take care of you and keep you
from study. I advise you to do it if you
can get anybody to have you."
"Indeed," I said, rather piqued,
"there are only too many. I refrain
from a selection for fear of breaking
other hearts. How fond all the ladies
are of me, to be sure," 1 added con
ceitedly, "though I can't see that I am
particularly fascinating."
"Neither can I," added Susy, with an
air of perfect simplicity.
"Can't you?" said I. "I hoped—hop
ed"— Oh, that dreadfully attractive
face of hers! "That is, Miss Susy, I
thought perhaps—oh, my head, my
head!" And I buried my face in the
cushion.
"Does it ache so very badly?" she
asked tenderly, and she put her cool
little hand in among my curls. I felt
the thrill her fingers gave me through
my whole system.
| Soon after this it became necessary
! for me to leave the city on business.
; An offer of a partnership in the office
j of a lawyer friend of mine made me
decide to extend my trip and see how
j the "land lay."
j One thing was certain—l could not
I leave home for months, perhaps years,
' without some answer from Susy.
Dressed in my most faultless costume
(it was the only suit 1 possessed) and
full of hope, I went to Miss Susy's
house. She was in the parlor at the pi
ano alone. She nodded gayly as I came
i in, but continued her song. It was,
"I've Something Sweet to Tell You."
At the words: "I love you! I adore
you!" sweeping back the curls from her
forehead with laughing defiance, she
warbled, "But I'm talking in my sleep."
"Then," I cried, "you love me when
you sleep! May I think so?"
"Oh, yes, if you choose, for dreams go
by contraries, you know."
I sat down beside her. We chatted
away for a time. At last I began:
"Miss Susy, I came up this evening to
tell you that 1 I"
How she was listening! A bright
thought struck inc. 1 would tell her of
my journey, and in the emotion she
j was certain to betray it would be easy
! to declare my love.
| "Miss Susy," 1 said, "I am going to
New York tomorrow."
"Going away?"
"Yes, for some months."
"Dear me, how distressing! Just stop
at Gauche's as you go home and order
me some extra pocket handkerchiefs
for this melancholy occasion, will
you ?"
"You do not seem to require them," I
said, rather piqued. "I shall stay some
i months."
"Well, write to my ma, won't you?
1 And if you get married or die or any-
I thing let us know."
j "I have an offer to ho a partner in a
law office," I said, determined to try
her, "and if I accept it, as I have some
thoughts of doing, 1 shall never ro
; turn."
j Her face did not change. Her old.
i saucy look was there as I spoke, hut 1
, noticed that one little hand closed con-
I vulsively over her watch chain and
that the other fell upon the keys, mak
ing for the first time a discord,
j "Going away forever?" she said, with
a sad tone that made my heart throb.
"Miss Susy, I hoped you at least
would miss me and sorrow in my ah
sence."
"Yes. It might change all my plans
if my absence would grieve you."
"Change all your plans?"
"Yes. I hoped—thought"—
Oh, that earnest, grave face! My
cheeks burned, my hands and feet
seemed to swell, and I felt cold chilis
all over me. I could not go on. I broke
down for the third time.
There was an awkward silence. 1
glanced at Susy. Her eyes were rest
ing on my hand, which" lay on the arm
of the sofa. The contrast between the
black horsehair and tlie flesh seemed
to strike her.
"What a pretty little hand!" she said
A brilliant idea passed through my
brain.
"You may have it if you will." 1 said,
offering it.
She took it between her own and.
: toying with the fingers, said:
"May 1?"
"Yes, if—you will give me this one.'
! And 1 raised her beautiful hand to my
; lips.
1 She looked into my face. What she
| saw there I cannot say, but if ever eyes
tried to talk mine did then. Her coloi
! rose, the white lids fell over the glo
; rious eyes, and the tiny hand struggled
to free itself. Was I fool enough to re
lease it?
j What I said I know not, Init I dare
j say my betrothed can tell you. Five
minutes later my arms encircled a blue
I silk dress, the brown hair fell upon my
j breast, and iuy lips were in contact
with another pair.
Character.
' There is something magnetic about
strength of character. It not only at
tracts admiration, hut demands respect
from all classes. Those who ore wise
and just praise it, the old bless it, and
the young admire it. There ore some
who lack that solidity and firmnesfc of
purpose upon which moral strength is
based, but know full well its worth,
and partly to excuse themselves for not
having It and partly in making a vain
attempt to cast reflections on those who
: possess it they call it pride and lofti
ness. r.
